It sees the printer on it's network and it sees (through redirect) the printers in the vans but when you hit print it claims it did and nothing happens. On this server no matter what we seem to do we can't get it to print remotely, and in the process we also discovered that the server can't even print to the network printer.

On the old server they just installed the identical driver and that was it, they could print as needed. In other words the use a laptop to remote desktop into the server and need to print invoices out from the remote server to printers attached locally via usb. They need to be able to print to printers in the vans their technicians use from the server via remote desktop. I've got everything they need transfered over and running except for printing. New hardware and a change from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2012. Friends of mine recently upgraded their server for their small business from the POS old one. I know this may sound incredibly stupid and there is probably an easy solution but I can't seem to find it.

Windows cant open add printer
